I call and told my problem. Got suggestions to save $. I'm use to waiting an hour! I did not have a wait. They were at my house before me! Off to the place! I explained my situation! Throughout the whole process the driver was very nice and patient. The day was good!

On a Monday with heavy snowfall that morning, I thought for sure my request for a tow in town would be at least an hour or more. But I called and within 20 minutes the guy was there. Super friendly, super helpful, and affordable price. Highly recommend

I had to get a tow on 10/8/20 when my van left me stranded at the gas station. I called around 8pm and the tow truck was there within 5 minutes. My receipt says I was helped by “PN”. It was the best towing service that I ever had. He filled out the paperwork for the dealership he towed it to so I didn’t have to go along. I appreciated his speediness and professionalism...it really helped out in a stressful situation! Thanks “PN” and thanks Winks!

Used Winks for first time, for car repairs! No appointment. They worked on vehicle same day I took it in. Did a great job, fixed problem quickly, & very good price. Mechanic himself called me to ask about problems, & gave me a price range, which was very accurate. Mechanic also called me when done. & explained step by step everything he did &… why, & told me about things that don't need to be done now, but in short future He explained how the parts he fixed worked, so I would understand exactly what he did & why. Very polite, informative & pleasant. And they have

Just thought I’d let you know you have a great employee on your hands...super friendly and definitely cares about his job and the customer. I didn’t catch his name but he did everything right this morning. I appreciated how careful he was putting our Explorer up on the flat bed. So please be sure to give him a pat on the back...he represents your company well! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars

Super service. Our car did not restart when we filled up with gas in Bloomington IL. Winks was recommended by Autozone. We were towed to Winks. Replaced fuel pump and yay! Now our gas gauge works again. But still did not start the engine. Diagnostics found two sensors were bad. Got them installed and like magic the car starts again. It took the mechanic about 4.5 hours to to diagnose and resolve the engine issues.
He was kind, patient, determined to get the job done and he did it.
People in the community can be grateful to know there is an experienced professional at Winks.

I had an emergency blow out of my tire on Sunday and thankfully made it to Winks Shell. They were awesome! The mechanic there tried to repair my tire but when it was obviously not repairable he put on my spare for me instead and sent me on my way! I love these guys!!

So happy with the service and friendly employees. Most importantly though, they are super fast and helpful. It always stinks to need a tow but I'm glad this small business has great prices and are easy to get ahold of. Highly recommended.

I ran into a sticky situation with a vehicle dead and I had one of their guys stop and help me out, without me asking, without me paying him or anything. If that's what they do just to help out, then their service must be good.

I was on my way home from a long trip, and ran into car trouble. Had them tow me to there shop. They had me back on the road first thing in the morning, and didn't charge me an arm and a leg.
